It is hasty to conclude that I consider the issue as addressed.


Apparently the "applicable" Mauritian law DOES NOT prevent AFRINIC
from publishing, via its traditional port 43 WHOIS service, the names,
addresses, and phone numbers (PII) associated with person: records
that are currently present in the data base... a fact that anyone
can easily verify just by querying the WHOIS for the handle associated
with any person: record.


The above description is simplistic.  One of the 
purposes of Whois is to facilitate network 
operations.  The "person" record for AS33764 is:


  person: CTO AFRINIC
  address:11th Floor, Standard Chartered Tower
  address:Cybercity, Ebène
  address:Mauritius
  phone:  tel:+230-403-5100
  nic-hdl:CA15-AFRINIC
  mnt-by: CTO-MNT
  source: AFRINIC # Filtered

I doubt that there is a person with that 
name.  The "address" is a business address.  The 
"phone" is not a personal phone number.



Despite this obvious fact, the community is asked to believe that somehow,
magically, Mauritian law DOES prevent AFRINIC from providing this same
data to qualified and well-vetted researchers if the data from two or
more person: records is provided at the same time (bulk) or if the
data associated with a person: record that was removed fom the data base
last week (historical) is provided.

These alleged constraints, which allegedly spring from Mauritian law,
are in fact just ridiculous double-talk, made up within the minds of
S. Moonesamy and others within the current AFRINIC hierarchy, who are
just simply searching for some vaguely plausible excuse to prevent
any independent investigators, such as myself, from finding the whole
truth of what has happened in the data base, over time.

There is no basis in law for this.  AFRINIC and S. Moonesamy are simply
stonewalling.


What is the basis in law which permits a researcher to access the date in bulk?

S. Moonesamy

Re: [Community-Discuss] [afnog] Updates on the misappropriation of IPv4 resources

[Ronald F. Guilmette]

Let me begin by saying that I have only just been informed that there is
some connection between Noah  and SEACOM.  My apologies
to him.  If I had known of that connection, I might have raised the
issus of the Ugandan bogons with him privately.  But since this is
now a matter of public discussion, I will respond publicly.

That is 100% correct.  So SEACOM is certainly -not- the only network
that is doing something wrong here.

The real problem is that *nobody* should be peering with AS26754 which
is a bogon ASN that was previously registered (or stolen) by Ernest
Byaruhanga.  Quite obviously, AFRINIC staff already realized that some
time ago and they then appropriately de-registered AS26754 and returned
that AS number to the free pool.  Thus, AS26754 has been a "bogon" ASN
for some time now.

So the question must be asked:  Why is AS37100 (or anybody else) still
peering with the bogon AS26754?

That should not be happening.

rfg


P.S.  I am greatly looking forward to more widespread adoption of RPKI
which may reduce some of these kinds of problems.

I might be mistaken, but I don't believe so.  In fact, I don't believe
that I have previously mentioned these blocks... which appear to me to
be in use by a party or parties who may or may not be Ernest Byaruhanga...
to anyone at all, except for maybe Jan Vermeulen.

You'll have to forgive me.  There's quite a lot of sordid details that

there are so many details that it's hard to remember which ones I have,

I have, but only a limited amount.  I believe that is a California (US)

I cannot provide any answer.  This question is best directed to SEACOM.

NOT SO!  You seem to have grossely misinterpreted what I posted.

There are *numerous* different ASN that are routing various parts of
what I consider to be either (a) provably stolen AFRINIC legacy IPv4
space that AFRINIC has not yet acted to return to its rightful owners
or else (b) IPv4 space that *was* stolen, but which AFRINIC *has*
returned to its rightful owners (but which some unrelated network owners
are still illicitly squatting on anyway) or (c) IPv4 address space that
has been reclaimed into the free pool by AFRINIC, and which are thus
now "bogons", but which some network operators are still routing anyway.

In the specific case illustrated by the link I posted:

   https://bgp.he.net/AS2675

the IPv4 address blocks in question were parts of various IPv4 blocks
that have already been reclaimed into the free pool by AFRINIC.  And in
this case, even the AS number, AS2675, has also been reclaimed into the
ASN free pool by AFRINIC.  (So *nobody* should even be using that ASN
-at all- on the public internet.)

The problem here is that AS2675, which is now a "bogon" ASN, *is* still
being used to announce routes to multiple IPv4 address blocks which are
themselves now "bogons".  This is apparently only possible because *two*
other ASNs are providing correctivity to the bogon ASN, AS2675, as shown
on the page linked to above.  These two other ASNs are:

AS328616 Spidd Africa Ltd
AS37100  SEACOM Limited

Neither of these two should be peering with the bogon AS2675 -at all-.

SEACOM, you already know about.  That is a big provider in Africa that
ought to know better.  The other one, AS328616 Spidd Africa Ltd is a
bit mysterious, but is apparently headquartered in Uganda, and it also
is receiving connectivity from two other ASNs as shown here:

https://bgp.he.net/AS328616

The two ASNs that are providing connectivity to Spidd Africa... which I
believe is strongly linked to Ernest... are as follows:

AS328015  Sombha Solutions Store Limited
AS37100  SEACOM Limited

Both of these appear to be essentially legitimate companies... and SEACOM
surely is... but I do have to question why either of them should be
providing connectivity to AS328616 Spidd Africa Ltd., which I believe
to be a small-time operation which is most probably the property of good
friends of Ernest in Uganda.

I could provide even some more interesting information here about these
various networking connections in Uganda, but I'll leave that for another
time.

Emem,

Since I wear many hats, allow me to respond to you inline.

A lot of stolen or misappropriated IPv4 number resources are being routed
everyday by ISP and transit providers globally. The reasons vary from,
misinformation, hijacks, misappropriated IPv4 addresses. All this is
perfectly recorded on the RIR database. Until recently, Ronald started
shading light to the fact that a huge number of AFRINIC IPv4 space, both
legacy and non-legacy has been fraudulently obtained while others
misappropriated and perfectly recorded in the whois database.

I am assuming that you are not a network engineer and as such, you are
ignorant of how the internet works and to enlighten you, SEACOM is largest
transit provider in AFRICA and does run prefix/asn checks before prefixes
from downstream customers are announced. This checks involves AFRINIC whois
database checks and even LoA letter requests.

So to answer your question, this is a ticket worthy logging and
chasing..but meanwhile...to continue enlightening you.

Actually those prefixes on the link above are being originated by
ITC AS26754 and announced by two different upstream providers. The question
then is, is AS26754 authorised to announce those prefixes and if so, are
the records on the AFRINIC whois database. If the answer is yes, then the
ISP is correct to route them after checking all those route objects to
confirm compliance etc.

Remember there was a case months ago where one AFRINIC member Cloud
Innovation Ltd, sub-allocated AFRINIC based IPv4 addresses to a customer in
HongKong who then sub-allocated to another customer in Manila Philippines
who then hijacked SEACOM ASN in order to announced the Cloud Innovation Ltd
prefix from Philippines in Manila. Crazy right, well the issue was
immediately fixed and the outcome is in the archives of this mailing list.

*Rest assured, if those prefixes are stolen and are being originated by
ITC, then the AFRINIC team should take this up and I have copied Ashil from
the communications team herein to pass this case to the Audit Committee as
well.*

Noah

 Shalom,
 I am enjoying this for sometime now. Looks like Afrinic community is 
infiltrated by Spamhaus goons like Ronald F. Guilmette 
 Those who do not know what is spamhaus then read this 
https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/29055/spamhaus-tax-evasion-shell-companies-extortion-strategies-blackmail-and-much-much-more
 
 Spamhaus is a highly sophisticated money laundering, hacking and cyber 
extortion network. 
 Spamhaus gang mebers like Ronald F. Guilmette are using social engineering and 
same old tactics. 
 This time they are using Afrinic platform.
 One example is https://seclists.org/nanog/2019/Sep/255 
 Spamhaus goons started at Nanog and managed to get legal war started between 
Elad cohen and Afrinic. 
 Case has reached Supreme court of Mauritius. All the legal fees are paid from 
Afrinic members fee. 
 Afrinic management will be answerable for all the legal expenses.
 Afrinic should ban these goons or they will manage to destroy Afrinic by 
triggering series of legal events between Afrinic and its members to achieve 
their purpose.
 Read all replies from Ronald F. Guilmette and his associates and then evaluate 
purpose of their posts. 
 Everything will be clear.

Shalom,
I am enjoying this for sometime now. Looks like Afrinic community is 
infiltrated by Spamhaus goons like Ronald F. Guilmette 
Those who do not know what is spamhaus then read this 
https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/29055/spamhaus-tax-evasion-shell-companies-extortion-strategies-blackmail-and-much-much-more
 
Spamhaus is a highly sophisticated money laundering, hacking and cyber 
extortion network. 
Spamhaus gang mebers like Ronald F. Guilmette are using social engineering and 
same old tactics. 
This time they are using Afrinic platform.
One example is https://seclists.org/nanog/2019/Sep/255 
Spamhaus goons started at Nanog and managed to get legal war started between 
Elad cohen and Afrinic. 
Case has reached Supreme court of Mauritius. All the legal fees are paid from 
Afrinic members fee. 
Afrinic management will be answerable for all the legal expenses.
Afrinic should ban these goons or they will manage to destroy Afrinic by 
triggering series of legal events between Afrinic and its members to achieve 
their purpose.
Read all replies from Ronald F. Guilmette and his associates and then evaluate 
purpose of their posts. 
Everything will be clear.
Bye bye

Re: [Community-Discuss] [afnog] Updates on the misappropriation of IPv4 resources

Dear Ronald,

Thanks for the information.

In your comprehensive routing data, I noticed that the following name
stands out quite often, PEG Tech Inc. It seems like they are providing a
lot of route to those ranges. I am wondering if you have done any research
about them?

Also why is Seacom still routing stolen AFRINIC IP? As you have rightfully
pointed out https://bgp.he.net/AS26754#_graph4 , they seem to be the only
upstream provider that still routes Afrinic’s stolen IP.

Cheers,
Emem William

Too much spam is generated by couple of morons in this community list. 
How about only verified members allowed to use this mailing list?
Those who are Afrinic member or Lir can link their main account and those who 
are not members or LIR can submit their id proof for verification. 
This is the only way to keep community clean.

Re: [Community-Discuss] Questions

[S. Moonesamy]

Dear Stakeholders,

Organizations generally put in place appropriate policies for the 
detection and prevention of frauds, corruptions, misappropriations, 
and other inappropriate conduct. You can find more information about 
an AFRINIC policy and its implementation at 
.


The AFRINIC Members mailing list 
 is 
open to all AFRINIC Resource Members.  I suggest that Resource 
Members use it if they are interested in discussing AFRINIC business 
matters with other Resource Members.


There was a complaint related to a request for access to "Whois 
data".  It is more difficult to reach agreement when there isn't a 
common understanding of the regulatory constraints.  Some of the 
data, which is categorized as "personal data" [1], is regulated 
through data protection laws.  There is, for example, the Data 
Protection Act 2017 for Mauritius, which is applicable.


Regards,
S. Moonesamy

1. The term used in another jurisdiction is "PII".

Board Chair, AFRINIC
